How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I prefer my mood to be less stifling.

Weak - I am for the moment not as strong as before. I just wish the power would come back soon.

A little bit of hope. As long as I can complete this task, and soon.

It will, from reading all your posts. It has done, many times before.

Awake. I did sleep as expected, just wish I didn't have to build up 36 hours of sleep debt until I can drop off... Feel groggy but ok. Knee isn't too bad, a good sign if it hasn't flared up overnight, as a bad injury usually does that!

Restless, tense, agitated, uncomfortable in my own skin. Should be asleep but just can’t settle.

I hope you were able to get to sleep and shed those more difficult feelings @Holding my breath.

I have no energy, but I have to go to work in a bit.

You are here with those of us that think well of you. That is not a loser or a failure, you are liked, cared for and respected by myself and others.

Thank you very much Kangaroo Manager......

Just say no they said. Get some boundaries they said. Yeah thanks a lot, no one respects a no and no one gives a crap about boundaries certainly not how they make you feel. Most crap advice I've ever received. It just makes me feel worse. I'm done. I can't make it another day much less a few weeks. I have to end this pain.

Alone and isolated.

I'm not in a good way right now. First there was the insomnia, a really bad one, but I got up and tried to make the best of it. All seems a bit of a blur but I have been trying to occupy myself from 6am. Somehow in the midst of this I've managed to tear my meniscal cartilage in my "good" knee. I don't know exactly how I did it, but it's likely when I was squatting down to do some random task and that's when it must have gone. Ouch, was quiet until a few hours later when suddenly the pain is flaring up. This is when I feel really vulnerable, alone in the house , a prisoner, nowhere to go, nobody to call round and help me and suddenly helpless. I rely on the running to help my mental health but that's gone in the blink of an eye... Now I'm immobile and sleep deprived wondering "What next?" At least I have enough painkillers to kill a horse 🤷‍♂️ I can put weight on it and the pain is intermittent so am hoping it's not very serious and just more of an annoyance. At least I have nowhere to go until Wednesday and I have a remote job. And not like I was going to move much from the sofa anyway today with Survivor and Doctor Who on!

I'm sorry about your knee..I hope it gets better..and be healed completely..

I’m absolutely exhausted. I’ve got a really busy week coming up and I’m worried it’s going to push back the positive progress I’ve made the past few weeks.

I am feeling frustrated. I have a fairly wide circle of casual friends (I'm an extrovert and believe me it's part of the territory and doesn't mean I am socially skilled), and one of them has now taken offence to something minor I said about it being hard to find friends or a romantic partner at our age (early 50s) because many people have established social circles or are taken. I was actually speaking to a third person, but this newly-single friend managed to get offended thinking that I am saying all the good men are gone and that SHE will not find someone.

I am now resolved to avoid making any friends in the future who are physically attractive (actually she's gorgeous) because the sense of f*cking entitlement that beautiful people have (especially women, sorry not sorry) is off the charts. She gets asked out almost every week and I was NOT referring to her. So, I should apologize because I was thinking of regular mortals like me finding it hard to make friends or a boyfriend when older (I am married but was speaking generally), but not a Goddess like herself?

Yes I am speaking tongue-in -cheek a bit here. But I am so wishing I were an introvert right now and was happy with just a few close friends. I am so done with people generally. I mean, I get it - I take offence wrongly at times too, but such a general comment and she takes it that personally? F*ck it.

I was just about to post I was feeling tired. Although I slept last night I think I think my brain and body rather enjoyed having yesterday off - I tried to do some work and my brain just wasn't having it. I've decided I'm calling it a day already rather than push through, I have a busy week too and don't want to end up totally burned out. I think I might have tomorrow off as well, as the following 4 days are unbearably busy. I'm glad it's not too long until my Christmas break! I hope you can get through your busy week!

 

[Searchingforhope]

I hope you can get through your busy week!

Thank you. Im glad at least that I’m busy with fun things. But it still just depletes the reserves, and I’m only just building mine up!

sounds like you’re being wise with taking the extra time when you’ve got the chance to conserve your energy.

@AvidFan and @Searchingforhope it's so hard to go through life when exhausted and sleep-deprived. I never sleep through the night anymore and am constantly tired. Wishing you both rest and peace.

Hope work goes okay

I hope you are getting enough nourishment hon
